| Jeff Kaufman and Julia Wise | https://www.jefftk.com/donations | https://www.jefftk.com/ | It looks like the 50% of AGI became a target as a result of a compromise between Jeff and Julia: Jeff sought a little less and Julia sought a little more. In 2017, the couple targeted 30% initially, while Jeff was working at a lower-pay but potentially higher direct-impact job at money transfer company Wave. However, it went back up to 50% after he was fired from Wave and returned to Google. In 2011, the couple did not donate because Jeff was working at a startup and Julia was paying for graduate school out of pocket, see note [1] at https://www.jefftk.com/donations Also, note that donations listed in italics are not included as separate line items in the donations list on the Donations List Website; however, the ones among these that are employer matches are noted as employer matches to the corresponding donation. Consistency of totals against the totals listed on top at https://www.jefftk.com/donations was last verified on 2019-01-21 | |
| Peter Hurford | http://peterhurford.com/other/donations.html | http://peterhurford.com/ | Donations entered on Donations List Website are almost entirely a copy of http://peterhurford.com/other/donations.html with a few differences: $220 for "Help an EA go to EA Global" on 2017-08-03 is omitted. Also, the donee for contract work is listed in the source as "Rethink Priorities" or "Charity Entrepreneurship" but is listed as the actual contract worker on Donations List Website. This means that part of the total that Hurford's page attributes to these two charities is attributed to specific contract workers on the Donations List Website. After accounting for these omissions and discrepancies, consistency of totals against the listed totals by year and by donee at http://peterhurford.com/other/donations.html was last verified on 2019-01-21 | |
| Gordon Irlam | https://www.gricf.org/annual-report.html | https://www.gordoni.com/ | Irlam has created a number of websites exploring topics related to his charitable interest. Examples include https://wiki.aipolicies.org/ for AI policy, https://www.gordoni.com/thoughts/wwit.html for global poverty, and other stuff under "A Penny for my Thoughts?" on his homepage https://www.gordoni.com/ Consistency of grand total and total by donee between Donations List Website and summary at https://www.gricf.org/annual-report.html was last verified on 2019-01-21 | |
| Patrick Brinich-Langlois | https://www.patbl.com/misc/other/donations/ | https://www.patbl.com/ | Patrick Brinich-Langlois has articulated his giving philosophy as mostly utilitarian/consequentualist. In a Facebook comment https://www.facebook.com/pbrinichlanglois/posts/10152496560422961?comment_id=10152668336987961&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D he says "I don't have especially well-thought-out philosophical positions. Good is happiness less suffering, but I don't want to have to define those as well. Seems like a rabbit hole. Best to leave that to the experts." He is also the creator of Skillshare.im (which earned him a LinkedIn recommendation from Ozzie Gooen) and has been vegetarian since 2001 https://www.facebook.com/632817960/posts/10152108368287961/ | |
